I think it goes back to Truean not wanting to be quoted, and nobody being able to see eye-to-eye as to why or if it even matters. Then it started spiraling out of control and got messy.

Ja, thing are getting back on track though.

Honestly, the biggest problem with this bathroom issue is current societal bias. I mean, there's no problem with separate bathrooms for male and female, but it does complicate matters for the small percentage of transpeople. Unisex bathrooms would be the most fair solution, but given the behavior of a large number of miscreants, people would be filing for sexual assault all over the place, and not just for trans-related issues.

It is also because not everyone agrees with everything and some people are passionate about certain points.

I completely understand that specific one, honestly. I say a lot of crap which is difficult to take back in the best of times.
When I get quoted, my stupidity is set in stone for eternity. Not so great- so I don't enjoy being quoted.
Then again, many forum members enjoy quoting me simply to call me on above said shit, so C'est la vie.
But Tru has a far better basis for it in truth.

In any case- not yet addressed:

Do people with different gender identities have the right to go to all-girls or all-boys schools? What about boarding? Say what you like, but there would be a whole truckload of calls from parents if it was ever discovered that there was a girl with a penis living in the dorms- and at that inquisitive age too.

I mean they most certainly do. it's simply societal values that are holding us back here.

What is wrong with the current system of male/female restrooms? If you are trans you most likely look like man or like a woman so go where you wouldn't look out of place. Problem solved.

So, what if you look 'out of place' in both the male and female restrooms to some bigots?

(The obvious crux point people are raising here is if you have some pretty noticeable characteristics from the gender you have recently left behind, and therefore will NOT appear aesthetically androgynous no matter what you're wearing (Which in this case is clothes corresponding to your gender identity))

Eh, at the end of the day, Men are predators.
I'd be far more worried about the trans student themselves if it were an all-boys boarding house.

[XXXXYYYY]

Men are predators.

... what.

Go fuck yourself. I am a man, and I am not any kind of predator.

Seriously, those kind of comments are what start the derailments of threads and eventual deletion. Not to mention how rude, untrue, and such a blanket statement that assertion is.

EDIT: You know, i just checked your profile to see if you're male, and you are! Which also means, congratulations, you must be a sexual predator!

Okay, so we implement some sort of curfew system?

What!? Are you just agreeing with that? Most men are NOT predators people! Seriously.

Not sure if they're serious or not...

Listen, all I'm saying is that the literal interpretation of what he said suggests that men are only a problem at sundown.

... So, no. I wasn't being serious, at least.
